Living in this busy metropolis, organic skin care products are the last line of defense against air pollution. But before heading to one of the unexciting cosmetics chains, check out Flow, a tiny body shop on Wuyuan Lu specializing in hand-made organic soaps and essential oils. We love the multi-functional soap bars (RMB60-110). Each can be used as facial lotion, bath cream and even shampoo. We also recommend the store’s popular fragrant rose cream (RMB40). It provides your skin with instant nourishment and leaves the lingering scent of rose petals. While you’re there, don’t forget to get some skin care tips from the lovely Japanese owner―she’s also an expert in traditional Chinese medicine.
